Don’t really have much today.  

For a while there I was living without a car and doing just fine, then came Covid and job changes and the generalized craziness that is 2020.  I am thinking that I have to get hack to the non-vehicular life.  

Now, in America this makes me a crazy.  But I can deal with that, there might even be merit in that argument.  But truthfully, I have to say that the costs of having the untrammelled “freedom” of owning a means of getting around aren’t really worth the reward. It might be necessary if one is living outside a city, but here in urban-land it just ain’t worth it.  

I have to make a decision pretty soon.  Bessie has been sitting for a couple of weeks now, and I need to make a decision to plop down coin to get the alarm fixed.  The alarm circuit on a 1999 Chrysler is a chancy thing and just won’t shut down and I am thinking that it may not be fixable.  If so, she gets donated to a cause and then I have to make provisions.

The big issue is grocery shopping.  I think that hauling limited things back home is the issue.  Might need to check into those spiffy little roller wagons that the old ladies use.  Those are smart.
